The research program Variable Media Landscapes aims at studying the significance of the media in and for social and cultural processes, with the focus on places undergoing intense transformation. The program is financed by the Baltic Sea Foundation (2002-2005), and involves research efforts from media researchers at Södertörns högskola (University College), working in the context of other research groups at the university college concentrating on problematics concerning the Baltic Sea area.

This publication documents some of the results from a survey carried out in 2002 in the Södertörn region, which includes the southern parts the Greater Stockholm.
